Hi Ron-
We use TBL throughout our curriculum. As a general rule, we use the readiness assurance process for each new topic in a course. Typically we will introduce 1-2 (sometimes more!) new topics each week, depending on the course. As a result, our students will often take 2 or more iRATS/tRATS per week for each class. Since all of our courses are TBL, our students have acclimated to multiple iRATs/tRATs … notice I wrote acclimated and not enjoyed!
I should note that most of our classes meet 2-4 times per week and each session lasts 3 hours.
Lane

Subject: If not Doing iRats, What?
I completed last semester’s Older Adult course with good results. The way my class was set up, I had 7 weeks of TBL and 6 weeks of traditional lecture, practicals, etc. For the coming semester, I have 13 weeks of TBL class. So, given that only 6 or 7 iRats are recommended, what do you do on the weeks when no iRATS are scheduled? Or, is it OK to do iRATS every week?
Thanks,
